About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Prohibition Columbia opened in the spring of 2024 and is brought to you by the same team behind Prohibition Charleston, which opened in 2014, and Repeal 33 in historic Savannah, Georgia. While many of the food and drink items can be found at all three locations, special considerations have been made to tailor a unique experience in each city.

As part of the ever-growing Main Street District, Prohibition brings innovative cocktails, eclectic cuisine, and live music to the heart of Soda City.

    Ok wings and garlic shrimp, but truffle mac lacks flavor and depth. Good drinks. Nice venue. A mixed experience overall.

    Great experience. Our server Kierra was helpful with menu suggestions. We shared the crispy Brussels, pork belly sliders, charred wings, and crab roll. I would recommend all of those items. Spicy marg was perfect. Old fashioned was below average.

    Overpriced, cold meal, too loud, tvs with news on right in your face, terrible atmosphere. Drinks were overrated and extremely slow to get a waitress. When we finally did, the drinks were very weak and tasted like they watered down the liquor.

    Drinks were good, Food was good. (I had the Short Rib burger and thought it was very good) Service was a little stretched, maybe a bigger crowd than expected on a Monday night.

    Drinks and service was spot on perfect. They missed our appetizer but got it to us just as our entrees arrived and comped it. The entrees were amazing except for our 2 orders of the Truffle Mac and Cheese that were surprisingly bland and lacked mornay sauce. However, the manager stepped up and comped 2 new entrees. Overall, it was exactly the experience you hope to have when things go a bit sideways. Service and management retained customers for life and we understand things happen. We were not one bit disappointed.
